The Test Drive: Chhandomay on Sun Product Reviews

Monday Mar 09, 2009

Late last
week President Obama appointed Vivek Kundra as the federal government's
first CIO with a clear mandate for him: "As chief information officer,
[Kundra] will play a key role in making sure our government is running
in the most secure, open, and efficient way possible."

This morning I sat down with Bill
Vaas, President of Sun Microsystems
Federal, to discuss the significant of this announcement. He and Scott
recently met with President Obama's technology team with more meetings
in the offing. Bill shares
what he thinks about the role open source
will play with the new administration, what the relationship will be
between the new CIO and the to-be-named-soon CTO of federal government,
what all these mean for Sun Microsystems Federal and a lot more in this
segment of Sun News Radio.
